Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit rivers and lakes to at least 400 m elevation (Ref. 2847) at temperatures ranging from 26 to 32°C. May have migratory habits. Mainly diurnal. They feed primarily on large insect larvae and emergent and terrestrial insects, and also crustaceans excluding prawns.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Observations though on mouthbrooding are lacking. Ovary contains 25 to 90 ripe eggs (Ref. 2847).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00349 - 0.00950), b=3.20 (3.05 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.29 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (49 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
